Using the web client in the new security environment
Beginning with IBM Spectrum® Protect Version 8.1.2, you can no longer use the web client GUI to connect to the IBM Spectrum Protect V8.1.2 or later V8 server or the V7.1.8 or later V7 server.
If you are connected to the IBM Spectrum Protect V8.1.2 or
later V8 server or the V7.1.8 or later V7 server, use the following alternatives to the web client GUI:
- To back up and restore your data, use the backup-archive client GUI or command-line interface.
To start the command-line interface, enter dsmc at the command line. To start the
backup-archive client GUI, enter dsmj for UNIX and Linux® clients, or dsm for
Windows clients.For more information, see:

Tip: If you already upgraded the backup-archive client to V8.1.2 or
later, you can uninstall it and reinstall the V8.1.0 client to continue to use the web client. The
IBM Spectrum Protect server administrator needs to set the
SESSIONSECURITY parameter on the node back to TRANSITIONAL. For
more information, see UPDATE NODE (Update node
attributes).
